    Farrell Hogs?

    STOMP442 replied to PseAZ's topic in Cooking Wild Foods

    I got one a few years back and it was awesome. She was a decent size sow. If I remember right I got back about 60 pounds from the butcher. That hog was some of the best tasting pork I have ever ate. All we ever did was salt and pepper the pork chops and throw them on the grill. Nothing fancy and those BBQs are still talked about to this day. Good Stuff. Good Luck.

    25-06 loads

    STOMP442 replied to FOGGER's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing

    Hard pressed to find a better Coues rig than a .25-06. Mild recoil, flat trajectories, high velocities and excellent terminal performance for it's size.

    Like I said I don't have my note book in front of me. But I have been using H1000 in the last few I have done load work on. Hodgdon site shows a max charge of 58.5gr as a max load with 117gr bullets.

    H1000 works extremely well in a 25-06 with a 115 Berger bullet. Without looking at my notes I want to say 57.5gr has worked well in the last couple I have worked on. Velocities have been around 3150.

    What color cerakote?

    STOMP442 replied to Rumhunter84's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing

    All of those colors actually look really good on Firearms. Can't really go wrong any way you choose, but good luck with the decision.

    Powder suggestion

    STOMP442 replied to MathewQuigly's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing

    I have always had good results with H4831 or H1000 / Retumbo. One of those three powders about a grain off of max charge will generally run pretty darn well with the 160 class bullets.

    adjusting shooter app drops

    STOMP442 replied to Zeke-BE's topic in Long Range Shooting

    Use whatever one will let you use a G7 drag profile. The G7 will give much better results at long range over the G1. Also remember when using Hornady bullets to use the average G7 value over just the high velocity one. They have a PDF you can download on their site that has all the BC values and at what velocity band they are applied to.

    140 Sierra game king or Berger vlds under one of the 4350s and it should be very happy.
  10. STOMP442
    Yes that needs to be in the down position to insert the bolt. If you look down the rear of the rifle you will see a notch on the right side in the bolt raceway for that to fit. Then when you cock the bolt it rotates that pin to the up position and the rifle is ready to fire. As long as you hear a good click when you cycle the bolt and dry fire it you should be good to go.

    adjusting shooter app drops

    STOMP442 replied to Zeke-BE's topic in Long Range Shooting

    Yep the applied ballistics app is a little involved and takes a bit to get used but it works really well and worth every penny.

    adjusting shooter app drops

    STOMP442 replied to Zeke-BE's topic in Long Range Shooting

    Make sure your bc is input correctly and using the correct drag model. Almost sounds like you have a G1 bc value input for a G7.

    Long range scopes

    STOMP442 replied to AZHUNTER05's topic in Long Range Shooting

    If you like dealing with the best customer service folks in the industry buy a Vortex. If not then get something else. My vote is for the Leupold Vx3i in 6.5-20x50. It's light weight, simple, has great glass and well under your budget.

    The only down side with the .264 Win Mag is barrel ware. Even when loaded down you will still be burning a bunch more powder than a Creedmoor. That being said when used in normal hunting scenarios the .264 Win mag will more than likely last a life time.

    Tikka 6.5X55

    STOMP442 replied to chuckster's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing

    Switch to the 147 and I bet it tightens up even more. I have yet to find acceptable accuracy with the 143s but the 140s and 147s have shot very well for me.

    Card Hits

    STOMP442 replied to Lazy-H98's topic in The Campfire

    Got one hit for me. Needed two of them but I will take it.

    This is exactly why I abandoned my 6.5WSM. I had built one of those first then built a 6.5-06 Improved about a year later and found the 6.5 improved did everything the short mag would more efficiently.

    I believe he was using R17 if I remember correctly. It's somewhere in this thread I think. http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/6-5-creedmoor-shooters-183735/

    I have been reading excellent things about reloader 16 as well. All the benefits of 17 but with temp stability. I found a pound in Tucson last week but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. It doesn't have to be H4350 either, Accurate 4350 is a little easier to find and is also an excellent powder choice. I was reading a thread over on long range hunting the other day with a guy claiming to get over 2800fps out of his Tikka CTR in 6.5 Creed and given the larger case capacity of the Swede case you should be able to eclipse that pretty easily I would imagine.
  20. STOMP442
    R17 may be the better option if you are wanting more speed. For pure accuracy though 4350 of some sort is very hard to beat. Speed is nice but it definitely isn't everything. There is nothing you can do at 2900fps that you couldn't do at 2800fps, just take a couple extra clicks to get there is all.
  21. STOMP442
    Yeah it will hold it but in my experience, 42 grains generally works pretty good. The Swede is probably the most forgiving cartridge I have ever loaded for.
  22. STOMP442
    Yeah should be able to just fine in a modern action. Somewhere around 42 grains of H4350 should put you right in there.
  23. STOMP442
    You should be able to run up around 2900 no problem. Like most 6.5s H4350 seems to be the ticket in the swede.
  24. STOMP442
    I bet you will be pleasantly surprised how well it works. I have had very good results in a standard 260 as well as the Improved version with H4831
  25. STOMP442
    I have used both with no discernible difference in accuracy or velocity at least in this particular cartridge. It's the same stuff, one is just smaller grained. In a larger case with large powder charges load densities may change enough to see a difference but I haven't seen it in my rifle.
